ABOUT US

I am often asked why we started Dynamic Cycling Adventures. The quick answer is our mission statement; 'to expand the joy of riding on dirt'. But there is a little more to the story. Like every good coach and future husband when I met my wife I promptly got her into riding.  We rode all disciplines but mountain biking was our true love.

As I started to wind down my first career in finance we increased our involvement in the cycling community.  I increased my coaching availability working as a head coach for a few national organizations. While working for these organizations I would always tell my wife how I would do it different if I owned the company (as employees have a tendency to do).  A few examples include – trail time. I fundamentally believe that to become a better rider you must session actual features on trail. The companies I coached for never provided any or enough trail time.

Another example would be the rider experience. Over a period of time coaching became less about the rider experience and more about upselling products or services. individuals without proper training and certifications were being promoted to lead clinics all in the name of driving sales. 

My wife being smarter than I told me to open our own company. Having owned a business in my previous career this made sense. We could structure the programming on what we value, the rider experience.  When developing our curriculum, it was essential to make sure that all our clinics have plenty of time on trail sessioning actual features. We also ensure all of our coaches are certified, and have reached a certain level of experience before leading any clinics ensuring consistency from state to state.   

All the social media marketing articles tell you four paragraphs is too long.  Short and sweet they say.  So I will close with this – for all of us, my wife, our coaches and our staff it’s about expanding the joy of riding on dirt.  I was coaching a rider over a 6-foot gap jump, she was on a hard tail – when she cleared the jump she had a huge grin ear to ear.  She asked me to video tape it so she could show her 10-year-old son how awesome his mom is.  While watching the video she looked at me with that huge grin and said ‘best day ever’.  That’s why we do what we do.

Based out of East Burke Vermont - DCA is a collection of individuals all with the common desire to expand the joy of riding on dirt. Through progressive mountain bike instruction and leveraging the latest techniques, we progressively break down the six skills of mountain biking to create a more dynamic ride. Being more dynamic means better riding and better rides. We believe in giving back to the community and trails. Through continued partnership, we will donate 10% of all proceeds back to the community and trail networks we ride. We are proud members of the cycling community; and realize that we are blessed to be able to share our cycling stoke with the wonderful community members we encounter along our journey. 

BETTER RIDING = BETTER RIDES
